Room was adequate. Nothing special. No place to charge phones on nightstand. Following service after the first night of stay we were left only with two towels, no wash cloths, no bath mat. Front desk offered that “ housekeeping was behind on laundry”. I guess that was reason enough to shortchange your guests. Nothing special in any regard.

Decent hotel for what you’re paying for. It definitely was not the cleanest. The rooms had a weird smell and the elevator floors were pretty disgusting. Other than that, the staff were friendly enough and the room is good enough. I probably wouldn’t stay here for longer than a night.

The stains on the carpeting were disturbing as were the filthy elevators. There were also no washcloths in the bathroom. The staff was very friendly.

Hotel is beautiful, staff were kind. Unfortunately our AC unit just keep buzzing extremely loud around 2 am and did not stop. Remote was missing from the room and the shower was out of soap in the dispenser. Because we booked through Expedia we weren’t able to be compensated for the inconvenience. They did give us $20 credit to use at their convenience store which was a nice gesture but not enough to cover the lack of sleep we needed to continue our road trip.
